Craving something sweet but tired of the same old options? The Baked Bear in Edmond, Oklahoma, isn’t your average ice cream shop. At 1224 West Danforth Rd, they’ve turned dessert into a choose-your-own-adventure game—with cookies and ice cream as the main characters.
Build Your Dream Ice Cream Sandwich
The Baked Bear isn’t about settling for ordinary. Here, you’re the architect of your dessert masterpiece. Start by picking your “bread”—you can choose from over a dozen freshly baked cookies or even brownies. Options include classics like Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Macadamia Nut or adventurous picks like the Cookie Monster Cookie (a blue cookie with white chocolate chips, Oreos, and Cookie Crisp) and the gooey, powdered-sugar-dusted Gooey Butter Cake Cookie.
Once you’ve chosen your top and bottom layers, it’s time to pick the star of the show: the ice cream. Whether you go for something simple like Old Fashioned Vanilla (egg-free and gluten-free) or something indulgent like Toasted S’mores (toasted marshmallow and chocolate ice cream swirled with graham cracker and sea salt fudge), there’s no wrong choice here. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, you can roll your sandwich in toppings like sprinkles or crushed Oreos. Oh, and did we mention they’ll warm it up for you if you ask? Warm cookies + cold ice cream = pure bliss.
Beyond Sandwiches: Bowls, Cones, and More
Not in the mood for a sandwich? No problem. The Baked Bear has plenty of other options to satisfy your sweet tooth. Their Bear Bowls are a fan favorite—imagine a warm cookie or brownie served in a bowl with a generous scoop of ice cream on top. They also offer milkshakes (yes, milkshakes!) that are thick, creamy, and perfect for sipping while strolling around Edmond.
For those who prefer their desserts less elaborate, you can always grab a single cookie, an ice cream cone, or even take home a pint of their original-recipe ice cream.
A Story as Sweet as Their Cookies
The Baked Bear started in 2013 when childhood friends Rob Robbins and Shane Stanger decided to turn their love for desserts into a full-blown business. What began as a single shop in San Diego has now grown into a nationwide sensation. Despite their success, they’ve stuck to their roots: making everything from scratch daily and creating an experience that’s both fun and delicious.
